STAND-UP COMEDY from Greenville, Charleston, Atlanta, DC, and San Diego
Nov 2 @ 7:30 pm
Alchemy Comedy Theater at Coffee Underground

This stand-up show features Zach Stephens, Matt Dieterich, Amber Ritchie, Melly Kazel, LizaBanks Campagna, Carol Johnson, & Kenneth Hughes

The host for this show will be local comic Chris Freeland.

Zach Stephens is a Greenville Native two years into stand up, and a deeply insecure man. This is his debut show for the New South Comedy Festival.

Matt Dieterich has been performing stand up comedy for the past four years throughout the Southeast. He coproduces M and M comedy and has performed in the Charleston Comedy Festival.

Amber Ritchie was raised in rural Alabama, somehow made it to Atlanta, GA where she began performing comedy — often described as real-world trauma mixed with southern charm. She creates/hosts a comedic mental health podcast called Checking-In: A Self Help Book Club. She performs all over the southeast and can’t wait to make you laugh.

Melly Kazel makes standup comedy a one-woman show. She is dedicated to bringing people together through laughter by sharing her most embarrassing moments on stage.

LizaBanks Campagna is a comedian and resident young person. At 23, she is a regular in the DC Comedy scene, performing at local clubs like HotBed Comedy Club and the D.C Improv. After getting on stage for the first time when she was 13, LizaBanks has been a stalwart in the DC Comedy Scene. She’s been featured in the Washington City Paper, Washington Post and even US Lacrosse Magazine, but that was for a different thing. LizaBanks just filmed her first half-hour special “23 and Me” that is set to be released on Youtube later this year.

Carol Johnson has been trying to run away from home, work and the voices in her head for years. Stand-up is the perfect place to hide. She has performed at Comic Strip Live NYC, Laughing Buddha Comedy Showcase with Janeane Garofalo, The Comedy Store La Jolla and Flappers Comedy Club to name a few. She performs regularly with Jimmy Shin. Recent highlights include opening for Andy Bumatai at Stand Up Honolulu and three Kenan Presents The Live Performance Showcase. Her one woman show I’m Free Range premiered at SOLOCOMNYC 2023 and she is currently the Goddess of Humor on LockDown Living Room Comedy Show!

After losing his vision, Kenneth E. Hughes found a new ambition in stand-up comedy. Now, he takes the stage with confidence, thanks to his four-legged straight man, a.k.a. guide dog, Buddy. He also runsmany local stand-up shows with his company 20/20 Productions.

The 10th annual New South Comedy Festival will feature 10 straight days of comedy with 21 stand-up, improv, sketch, and musical comedy shows with guests from across the country from November 2-
